Story

Candy started with Chronic Grass Sickness at the start of July 2013, she has beaten Grass Sickness and she is now a survivor, she still has a couple of problems, but she is fit enough to be brought back into work.

Candy and I are now dedicating our time to raising awareness and monies for The Equine Grass Sickness Fund, in 2014 it was The Fabulous Fives Grass Sickness Awareness Rides. Our challenge for 2015 is

To walk from Buckie, Moray to The Dick Vets College in Edinburgh, roughly 300 miles, we set off on Saturday 23rd May 2015, and I'm thinking it will take us about a month to walk.

Were asking folk to sponsor us, or join us for a walk/ride, camp over night with us, and collect your own sponsorship, there is an event page on Facebook , and Candy's Facebook page "Candyfloss Experience"

Please help us to kick GS butt so FLIPPING HARD and hope the vaccine trail is the beginning of the end of this vile vile illness. Candys page has been going every day since the start of July, she is doing amazingly well, she is in recovery, and charming everyone, the recovery can take 18 months but she is well on the way. She is kicking the butt out of GS for her and her 4 pals.who she sadly lost to GS xx
